Just a little note: the Great Ocean Road runs from Melbourne down the south-west coast into Colac and Warnambool. And while it is absolutely beautiful and well worth it, be prepared for a very long drive

Sumatra is HUGE but I can share some of the spots to visit:1. Weh Island (the beaches are sooo gorgeous, also great spot for scuba diving) up in the northest part of Sumatra, and Belitung Islands in the eastern coast of Sumatra (has gorgeous islets & granite rock formations & beaches)2. Nias Island (great place to surf, and the Nias tribe has this "fahombo" stone jumping tradition in Teluk Dalam village)3. Bukit Lawang conservatory rainforest and Gunung Leuser National Park (lots orangutans and other primates…if you're lucky you can find sumatran tiges, or rare corpse smelled flowers called Rafflesia arnoldi & Amorphophallus titanium ?….but this place is getting too touristic) and they also have caves; North Sumatra4. Way Kambas conservatory rainforest and Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (you can volunteer here at the elephants conservatory center…maybe… just google it haha), South Sumatra5. Kiluan islands for dolphin hunting and Pahawang Islands for short boat trips with pristine white beaches (e.g: Pasir Putih Beach), Lampung, South Sumatra6. Lake Toba & Samosir island (a huge caldera with the remnants in the center as the island, from Tambora supervolcanic eruption. And you can learn the Batak tribes culture too in Huta Tinggi area or Rumah Bolon in Berastagi region), North Sumatra7. Gadang Traditional House and Culture complex, Koto Baru village, South Solok region, West Sumatra8. Cow racing festival called "pacu jawi" and some Dutch colonial historical sites to see in Batusangkar, Tanah Datar region, West Sumatra9. Harau Valley and waterfalls (one of them is Lubuk Bulan waterfall), Lima Puluh Kota region, West Sumatra10. The Mentawai Islands (there's an indigenous Mentawai tribe, and their beaches are beautiful, awesome waves for surfing)11. Kerinci Mountain and National Park Conservation Area (at 3805 m from sea level) West Sumatra. If you want the easier one to climb is Gunung Sibayak volcano in Berastagi region, North Sumatra12. LOTS of caves (e.g: Ngalau Indah cave), waterfalls (e.g: Sipiso-piso a.k.a the greatest waterfall in sumatra & Gadih Ranti waterfall), other lakes (e.g: Lake Biru Talawi, Lake Maninjau & Lake Laut Tinggal), river activities, and beautiful small surrounding islands with pristine beaches (e.g: Pagang Island & Cubadak Island).13. Don't forget to try Luwak coffee, Mandailing coffee and Sidikalang coffee….eat Pempek Palembang, Nasi Babi Karo, and Nasi Padang with beef rendang of course!

I am sorry if this is too long but I hope I gave you an idea of how much you can do in Sumatra, Indonesia ?

Stumbled onto to this one guys – and I'm so crazy grateful that I did. I am hoping to have 4 months to do a RTW trip Sept thru Dec this year and was wondering if it made sense to postpone to a different time of year! But watching this it seems like t will be just perfect! My destinations so far are Scotland in Sept, Greece or Italy in Oct, Africa in Nov, and NZ in Dec! Thanks a ton for this vid!! ???

Don't came in the north of italy during fall, go to the south: the weather is better and you can also go swimming in the sea untill october. the north is beatifull too but it may be raining for an entirely week. Go to dolomites in winter and than go insummer too…dolomites are beatifull mountains which dress for wedding in winter

I am visiting US this October and will do more research on all your recommendations, but don't you think you should include Japan and Korea in this list. They are as beautiful as their western counterparts 🙂

The Lake District in England is great in fall/winter, i live hear and its the reason why this is my favourite time of year. Marko i recommend Grasmere for you as its the home of William Wordsworth, they also have their own ginger bread. Hawkshead is pretty and quiet too. Theres also Windermere and Coniston. Tarn House is a stunning walk in fall, so is Gummer's How and Aire Force

I'm a teacher based in Northern Germany but autumn holidays are just one week away and I'm going to hike with my dog in the Alps of South Tyrol. It'll take me 10h of driving to go down there but I'm pretty sure it'll be just what I need after those stressful weeks. Just me, my beloved puppy, good food and a lot of nature 🙂
